Keywords should have colors too?
Actually I use projects to relate emails to sales 'projects' and their status; i.e. 'Sales > Lead', Sales > Opportunity'.
Keywords would maybe better fit, and leave projects to real projects.
We have chosen projects as you can categorize and set the color with one click.
If single keywords (or first) would also set the color it would be very useful. Or set the project 'Sales', then the status as keyword 'lead' and then the color... but 2 or 3 clicks are too much.

The choice to not use colors for keywords was a conscious one because the color to actually display becomes ambiguous or people have to start thinking about ordering of keywords in the list -- for example: what happens if the first keyword doesn't have a color but the second one does -- should it trickle down?
What I recommend is to consider using Act-On and rules to set multiple attributes on a message -- you could have a rule for setting "sales > Lead" and one for "Sales > opportunity"
or you could have one for setting "Sales" and separate ones for setting Lead or opportunity.
Assigning an email then becomes ctrl-l for setting a lead, and ctrl-o for setting a opportunity.
these rules could also set the color independently of the project color.

OK, this makes sense; defining which keyword colors wins might be too fuzzy.
I rather will use 'Projects'. It should be maybe once possible to distinct between real projects with the tag copy features enabled, and single one click markings.
